How to Make Marinara Sauce Of Alan Leonetti The Best

  1. Empty 3 (6 lb 6 oz cans) of Angela Mia (or Hunt's) crushed tomatoes into a large (15"H x 12"D) pot.
  2. Slice 1 whole head of elephant garlic into halves or thirds. Add to the pot.
  3. Dice 3 large yellow onions (approximately 3 cups diced) and add to the pot.
  4. Add the remaining ingredients (see below), stirring well with a large wooden spoon.
  5. Do not strain the sauce; the pulp contributes to its rich texture.
  6. Cover the pot and cook over medium heat, stirring every 5 minutes, until the sauce bubbles and is heated through (approximately 1 hour).
  7. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3 hours, stirring every 5 minutes to prevent sticking.
  8. Remove from heat, uncover, and stir gently.
  9. Allow the sauce to cool completely.
  10. Once cooled, fill 22 (1-quart) freezer bags with approximately 3 large ladles of sauce per bag.
  11. Squeeze out excess air, seal the bags, label, and freeze.
